Infants share their needs and interests, as well as learn from social interactions within their everyday routines and activities. Recognizing children’s early communication signals is key to supporting their future development. Children learn about language and how it is used in their environment even prior to understanding and using words themselves. Join us as we explore the importance of early communication development and the initial stages of language expansion. We will share milestones that identify typical and atypical development along with resources which provide a deeper exploration of this topic.
